Understanding what Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is and why it has a big potential for changing the way transactions are made.

We recommend Torus for first-time users.Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, has been making waves in the financial world in recent years. It is a new financial system that operates on a decentralized blockchain network, allowing users to access financial services without the need for intermediaries such as banks.
DeFi operates in a permissionless, composable manner, allowing anyone to build on pre-existing applications. This sector offers services such as lending, investing, trading, and market-making, which are controlled by the masses instead of a central entity or entities. One of the most significant advantages of DeFi is its accessibility. As a permissionless and open-source system, it provides financial services to anyone with an internet connection, irrespective of their geopolitical location. This is a significant breakthrough for individuals in regions with limited access to traditional banking systems, opening up a world of financial opportunities that were previously out of reach.
Moreover, DeFi promotes financial sovereignty. It provides users with full control over their assets, eliminating the need for third-party entities that can freeze assets or exert control over user funds. The transparency ingrained in DeFi protocols also empowers users, as they can scrutinize the open-source code, fostering a sense of trust and accountability in the system.Investing in DeFi, like any other investment, comes with its own set of risks and rewards.
Moreover, DeFi's reliance on collateralization also poses a risk. Most DeFi platforms require over-collateralization, meaning users must deposit more than they borrow. If the value of the collateral falls significantly due to market volatility, users may face liquidation of their assets. Hence, it's essential to monitor your collateral's value and maintain a healthy collateralization ratio.
Looking towards the future, DeFi is set to continue its transformative impact on the financial landscape. Its potential to democratize access to financial services, enhance efficiency, and foster financial sovereignty marks a significant shift from traditional financial systems.
